Festive Flower wreath

Description

Join us for this lovely workshop to make a festive 24 cm diameter dried flower wreath, and a hanging willow star decoration. There will be a selection of flowers and grasses to make a pink and teal coloured wreath, or a red and green coloured wreath, decorated with a ribbon and a few Xmas baubles. The baubles can be removed after Xmas, so that the wreath can carry on looking lovely for up to 12 months, in the right conditions (without too much light and moisture). Discover how to make the wreath base from willow first and attach the flowers and baubles with wire or string. There will also be time to make willow stars and trees that can be strung together and hung on the walls, doors or Xmas tree. You will make each star with a 15cm base, and there will be two options of tree size: a 15cm or 9cm base. We will make five of them, either tree or star, depending on your preference. Our studio is in a beautiful converted Oast, with exposed beams and gentle views across the farmland. Filled with mouth-watering aromas from The Oast Bakery, where Alison prepares our delicious refreshments, this is the perfect place to escape the pressures of daily life and enjoy some creative time for yourself. Our aim is to offer the chance to unwind, learn a new skill and meet like minded people whilst enjoying a cuppa and a slice of cake. Accessibility: Please note that most courses are held upstairs.
